Hello All,
I am having a great deal of difficulty setting up this particular Apache / Tomcat environment.
I have one instance of tomcat running on a machine. In that JVM lives a Servlet we have developed.
For programmatic reasons, we want to have multiple URL's coming into the Apache Server, to be handled by the same instance of that Servlet within the Tomcat JVM, not another instance of the same Servlet in the Tomcat JVM
In other words.
Directive Worker How do I get there? Tomcat/Servlet/JVM
-------------------------- ----------- ---------------------------- --------------------------------
JkMount /mbt/3/* mbt3 server1_ajp13_7020 Servlet A in Tomcat A
JkMount /mbt/d1/* mbt3 server1_ajp13_7020 Servlet A in Tomcat A
The problem I am running into is that if two requests come in across both URL's then I end up with two Servlet instances running in one Tomcat JVM under two different Contexts. This is the part I want to change such that both URLs end up in the same context. I sense the secret lies in server.xml, or further maybe in web.xml but the documentation for these files is scarce to say the least. (I understand this is open source and evolving people)
Current setup.....
<Context path="/mbt/3"
docBase="webapps/mbt"
crossContext="true"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
trusted="false" >
</Context>
<Context path="/mbt/d1"
docBase="webapps/mbt"
crossContext="true"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
trusted="false" >
</Context>
Desired setup: Something like.....
<Context path="/mbt/*"
docBase="webapps/mbt"
crossContext="true"
debug="0"
reloadable="false"
trusted="false" >
</Context>
1. But Tomcat does not understand wildcards in the path. Is there any way to either specify multiple Paths for the SAME context or even tell Tomcat to operate under a single context regardless of path (because I'll have no other contexts in this jvm).
2. Where can I find good docs on all the capabilities of server.xml and web.xml. The jakarta online docs at <http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/index.html> is limited in details.
Thanks for your help.
